To what purpose, April, do you return again?

English
1 answer:
yanalaym [24]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The poet of these lines, Edna St. Vincent Millay, imagines a speaker who is sick of spring and everything that goes along with the season changing. Millay employs word choice such as "stickily" in order to make the beauty of new leaves growing on the trees seem grotesque. She also names the leaves as "little" further diminishing the importance of the season changing. The speaker calls out directly to April in the first line ("To what purpose, April, do you return again?"). This line can be read as threatening or condecensing in light of the word choice in the poem as the speaker is angry at April's return. The speaker concluses that "I know what I know," marking themselves as more knowledgable about the world than spring and April.

In 3-5 sentences, write about the author's repetitive use of the "s" sound and its significance in the excerpt.
almond37 [142]

Answer:

The author made use of consonance in the poem.

Explanation:

In the poem, "Out Where The West Begins," by Arthur Chapman, the poet applied consonance, a form of alliteration. Consonance is the repetition of consonants anywhere in a set of consecutive words. The consonant, 's', was repeated several times by the poet. This repetition is significant because it creates a form of rhythm that makes the poem enjoyable and helps the reader remember it.

<em>“Out where the handclasp's a little stronger, </em>

<em> Out where the smile dwells a little longer, </em>

<em> That’s where the West begins; </em>

<em> Out where the sun is a little brighter.”</em>

Bogdan [553]
It was considered protected speech because wearing symbolical armbands to show your opinion is a part of the first amendment rights of speech. The school was reprimanded for censoring and forbidding people from expressing themselves.
